Dewey House
The Dewey House, built around 1735, is located at 87 South Maple Street. The house is maintained and preserved by the Dewey House Board of Trustees.
The Board offers several Open Houses during the year when docents, dressed in period attire, lead visitors through the house and explain the numerous utensils, furnishings and construction that reveal what life was like in Colonial life Westfield. Tours are available by appointment.
The Dewey House serves as a tangible introduction to Colonial history, as every fourth grade class in Westfield comes to visit.
We are grateful for period donations that enhance our collection.
